The only blame is on Saddam himself. He had to allow UN inspectors as part of UNSCR 687 to access to his WMDs program following a ceasefire signed to stop hostilities in the 1991 Gulf War and he kept on booting them out. Regardless of whether he had WMDs or not, it's about upholding 17 UNSCRs that Saddam made. WMDs wasn't the MAIN reason that we went in, it's about upholding UNSCR 687. It's too bad though we should have taken him out in Baghdad in 1991 and it would spare us a lot of trouble.
CNN works for the white house. please use youtube to find the interview where Saddam TELLS CBS in FEBRUARY, 2003 that he has NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
now CNN is claiming that he "pretended" he had WMD. no.
CNN is full of idiots, the reporter in the beginning of the video threw in "throws more cold water on the justification for war" ..what a bunch of delusional donkeys. saddam bluffed, and we called his bluff. the one to blame here is saddam, not us period.
"america is the only country in history of the world that miraculously went from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of CIVILIZATION."
Prior to the U.S. invasion of Iraq it was well known among researchers and weapons inspectors that Saddam Hussein was bluffing about his weapons. What surprises me is that very few people know the source of the chemical thiodiglycol supplied to Iraq and Iran during the Iraq / Iran war. Chris Matthews recently briefly touches on this during an interview with Rep. Mike Pence. Read the (more info). watch?v=xYDXezH1fOE
Iran and Iraq fought for 8 straight years from 80-88 with full military strngth. 1,000,000 Iranians died with 100,000 by Chemical weapons. Iraq lost between 250,000-500,000. Iraqi Military is devastated after 1st Gulf War so Iraq has little or no protection against Iran who is at full strength. If you were Saddam Hussein, you bet your ass you would say you had stockpiles of weapons you had already used on them once to keep them at bay.
@Billings67 your facts are actually wrong you said everything opposite waya round. saddams military was at full strengh, as they were supplied with latest fighter jets, bombs, chemicalweapons, artilery, tanks, pilots inteligence u name it, other hand, iran was immidietly put under world arms em,bargo n sanctions meaning they had no support or supply but they stillwon. it was after saddam lost n iran had taken basra and karbala he was scared.
@MrPersian001 My facts are accurate. When the Coalition went in the second time Iraq was still desimated from the first gulf war. Iran had not fought the coalition and was at full strength once again. I would look at other facts yourself as mine came from Iran's DOD and State which match about 7 other sources.
@Billings67 u n ur facts are both garbage. you coward fucks with all this money n weapons couldnt beat vietnam, left iraq after loosin so many soldiers, and cant beat shitty taliban you dumb fucks. if iran had all that money and weapons obama would be polishing ahmadinejads shoes right now. usa/isreal only fight defenceless women n children and drop bombs over their heads. thats as coward as it gets, i have never known a more coward nation as usa n isreal lol ur a joke
@MrPersian001 Israel has a great record against it's neighbors which stands on it's own merits. Not an Obama fan so attack away young lady. If you consider the PLO and Hezbollah women and children then that may not sit well with them. I will bet that more people consider suicide bombers and those that supply them to be more cowardly. Enjoy your day mam.
@Billings67 your either naturally retarded or brainwashed in either case ill educate ur stupid ass. when a country attacks another country and is forced to retriet while bieng under heavy fire, with out meeting any of its military objectives that is called a defeat. isreal exprienced this with hezbollah, in 2000 n 2006. NO destroying wholelot of buildings, schools and killing 1,000 or 10,000 civilians doesnt give u vicotry. it also exprienced same in gaza againt Hamas few years ago.
@MrPersian001 Thank you for the humor. Your use of poor grammar and made up history is proof you are locked into a place which has no ability to learn or think for yourself. So Israel had to leave Lebanon in 2006 because they did not drive hezbollah to the top of Lebanon? The Lebanese military did not attack Israel in 2006 so there were no military objectives. Chasing hezbollah like the scared children they are and pinning them in a corner was the mission and it was accomplished. Poor Palestine.
@Billings67 i have to use that sort of grmmer to make it fit you dumb fuck your IQ is obviously 12. your one dumb mother fucker. there is actually raw footage of isreali soldiers carrying their dead and wounded and fleeing across the border after heavy fighter. lol i was talking about isreal's military objectives which they did not complete after they attacked. your sucha a dumb fuck. lol
@MrPersian001 When you learn to spell and write properly check back. Enjoy your imaginary world. I'll send you an english dictionary so you can learn to spell. Actually the true proof of your imaturity and stupidity is your choice of curse words instead of adult words. I never said there were not wounded on both sides but you are insane if you belive that Israel left for any other reason but free choice. So what were the Israeli military objectives you speak of? Hezbollah = Cowards.
@Billings67 the only time isreal won was against the 6-7 arabs back in 1960s, they have been defeated 4 times in the past 10 years, by hammas and hezbollah who are 2 small proxies of iran. so u see when u say isreal with beat iran i take u as a joke. anyway hope you learnt something today,now fuckk off
@MrPersian001 Iran has defeated no one but does hide in the dark like a little girl, too afraid to face Iraq or the US like a man. I haven't seen any news reports saying Iran was in either war except for writing checks or supplying explosives to kill women and children. You should be proud of such cowardly actions. If Iran thought for a second that Iraq had no WMD then they would have rolled straight into Iraq. Unless they were scared.
@Billings67 hahah well clearly your facts r coming from CNN,CiA FOX news, thats how i identify dumb fuck americans. iran defeated iraq, while they were under international arms embargo u silly cunt, and they couldnt make any weapons then. u obv dont undrestand war n how it is won n lost. USA defeated a army less iraq well done and they r gettign fucked by the taliban lol. everytime usa faces resistance it calls air strike so wat r u talking about fight like a man? usa are the cowards of century
@MrPersian001 Nice language little lady, keep smoking crack and it will be ok. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? The facts I am using are simple and right from the Iranian Gov, sorry if facts annoy you. "everytime usa faces resistance it calls air strike so wat r u talking about fight like a man?" So Iran does not use it's airforce in battle? Really? You may be wrong again, have a nice day.
Even though we all disagree on what the original reasons for the Iraq war were, Saddam killed nearly 500,000 Iraqi's during his time in power. Some in terribly brutal ways. Like putting them in a wood chipper FEET FIRST.
If you could see how happy Iraqi people were now compared to how afraid they were then, you wouldn't argue over this. He was a mass murderer and he deserved to die.
The Iraqi people are liberated from his evil and that's all that matters.
No that is not all that matters. Just because a leader is evil and/or just because you don't like a leader does not mean you go to war. The US is not the world's policeman.
You think Kim Jong-Il treats his people well? How about the Sudanese?
All we've really done in Iraq is replace a Baathish dictatorship with a Iranian satellite state. This video only shows how bungling the Bush administration was wrt strategic long-term thinking.
i cant believe anything saddam says. He was still a terrorist. And even through interrogation he would give you answers, but how can you be sure they are the real answers? For all we know he did have WMD's and they are still there.
uhm, yes. He was a terrorist, technically the leader of terrorist groups and organizations. Why would and anti-religion party be founded by a christian? That makes no sense. Sadaam was an Islamist and used Allah in quite a few of his speeches. And the fact that he only allowed Islam as a religion.
Tell you what, read Saddam's page on Wikipedia, and read the page about the ''Baath party'' and about Iraq under the Baath, then let me know if you still think he was an Islamist. By the way, I lived in Baathist Iraq, I know what I'm talking about. Saddam used to KILL religiois LMAO, and you're telling me he was an Islamist, check my favorites, there's a video of his sons hunting PIGS, Islamist? LOOL.
let me clarify this entire thing. First, YOU LISTENED TO WIKIPEDIA! Anyone can edit that. Sadaam killed anyone he disagreed with. But nonetheless he was a terrorist. Even if he wasnt islamist he still was a terrorist. Who said you had to be muslim to be a terrorist? His sons hunted anyone suspect of being affiliated with rebels or anyone trying to overthrow him. Or anyone that Sadaam disagreed with. He was a coward, and he deserved to die.
I'm not saying he didn't deserve to die, I just disagree with you about the reasons. Not everyone who's evil in the middle east qualifies as a terrorist, to you maybe he was a terrorist but I see him as a dictator like Hitler, Stalin etc. Terrorist means a civilian who terrorizes others, Saddam was a military man not a civilian. But anyway, he was NOT NOT religious for sure.
his soldiers were military men, but they were the ones everyone called terrorists, correct? So with that in mind wouldnt it be safe to call him a terrorist?
a big lie. saddam always denied about using chemicals against kurds. there is even a CIA tape in youtube admitting that the use of chemicals by saddam against kurds is a sheer lie.
On Dec. 7, 2002, Iraq sent the United Nations a 12,000-page declaration explaining how its WMD stockpiles had been eliminated. In fall 2002, Hussein's government also allowed teams of U.N. inspectors into Iraq and gave them free rein to examine any site of their choosing.
This appears to be another attempt by "forgetful" news organizations what happened back then. What bluff are they talking about? Repeat lies often enough and we'll believe it. They want to change the historical record...
actually they didnt let UN inspectors in right off the bat. I remember, he kept them out for a long time until much later. After about 2 months saddam let them in.
it was Uday he didnt trust NOOOOT Qusay what a rubbish report
